Bikers looking forward to the wind in their hair and taking advantage of Nebraska’s new no-helmet law now have official instructions from the DMV.

The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced the procedure for Nebraska-Motorcyclists to submit proof of motorcycle course completion to waive the requirement to wear a helmet as authorized by the passage of LB 138 during the recent legislative session. This provision of the bill goes into effect on January 1, 2024.

Nebraska licensed drivers with a motorcycle endorsement or Class M license can submit a scanned copy of the basic motorcycle safety course completion to a portal on the DMV website at dmv.nebraska.gov. Upon review by a DMV staff member, a return email will indicate approval or denial of the submission.

Nebraskans who desire to waive the motorcycle helmet law requirement can submit their
information on the DMV website or provide the course completion card in-person to a DMV license
examiner at one of the field offices throughout the state.

Once the proof of course completion has been received and approved, it will be indicated on the operator’s driving record, which will be accessible by roadside law enforcement officials. To electronically scan and submit proof of course completion, log onto: dmv.nebraska.gov.
